Kenneth Lane Bryant Sr. was born on September 21, 1963, to Kenneth and Ruby Bryant in Gettysburg, South Dakota. He attended East Pleasant View School in Potter County during his elementary years. He attended Mitchell Tech and graduated to become a Sheet Metal Fabricator. He was a journeyman metal fabricator for Tessiers. While working at Tessiers, he decided to go into his own business, "Duct Masters Cleaning." From there, he created, "Bryant's Heating and Air Conditioning" in Ethan, SD.

Kenneth was the most dedicated, hard-working, loving Son, Father, Brother, Uncle, and friend. He was known for his sense of humor, Generosity, and work ethic. He was loved and respected by everyone that knew him. Spending time with his family was the most important thing to him. He nurtured several hobbies, including going stupid fast on his drag racing motorcycle, snowmobiling, motorcycle trips, custom sheet metal fabrication, tending to his garden, canning, and, most recently, the Islands of Hawaii. There wasn't a project he couldn't do. If he could dream it, he could make it. He enjoyed laughter and lit up the room with his quick-witted remarks and stories.
